Just saw on the website that the trim levels are updated to include a new sub-Premium Titanium trim. Love the rims. Seems like Audi did a quick update to better compete with the new 3-series and updated C-Class. Thoughts?

With the 190HP (err 188HP) engine and FWD?! I'm not sure how this better competes with anyone...

And with black trim, too .... interesting.

Wow. Sorry. Guess that's what it looks like when you try to copy and paste an image from Firefox (and can't edit your posts for some stupid reason). Here is the link instead since I'm afraid to try another image upload (why can't we edit posts again? Honestly... smh)

It looks like in addition to the "Titanium Edition" there is a revision of the trim lines. Premium is only available in Quattro now, and the prices are all modified. However I think the configurator may be inaccurate/misleading since it looks as if the Premium trim has features that the Titanium doesn't (7" display, carplay, etc).

Lastly, this makes me wonder why they would revise the trims almost 1/2 way through the 2019 MY if the 2020 facelift model is coming so soon?

One thing I don't understand - do 190HP FWD cars really sell in the US market?

they do here in LA. Almost all of the A4s I see are ultras. And that’s what seems to be the majority in stock at SoCal dealers. Before my Q5 I had a PP+ Ultra which I thought was fine until I recently drove a Quattro, which was a completely different car

In fact, I think if I went with Quattro to begin with I wouldn’t have traded it in so fast for a Q5.

Maybe this Titanium trim will be aimed at dryer climate markets?

Mostly in the western and southern states (CA, AZ, FL, etc.) but some are still sold in snowier places simply because some people just want an Audi.

It's really meant to compete with the BMW 320i. Each, in my opinion, represent the "I bought it for the badge" trim of their respective brands.
